Beginner's Hydro Questions

Hey all,

Running a 4L bubble bucket setup with one chocolate habanero.

How often do you feed your plants in a hydro setup? Any rules of thumb? And my big question is: when I'm adding ferts now, do I add the amount recommended for the whole 4 litres, or some smaller amount? I have no idea how much of the fert I've previously added has been taken up.

Any other thoughts or suggestions are appreciated as well. Peace and peas.
 
This is my first year with hydroponics but am having great results. As seedlings, I added a teaspoon of hydro fertilizer to my ph balanced water. Now that the plants are over three feet tall and flowering, I am adding a tablespoon. These feedings and water changes are bi-weekly. Weekly water changes are recommended but I have found a biweekly cycle sufficient as long as my Ph stays below 7.0.

Good luck!

Ben
